In Chapter Two, we setup Georgia England’s final words as Moultrie County Clerk as well as discuss the timing of that resignation and speech. Was the Illinois Attorney General involved? Why did England give that speech after the public comment instead of during the requested time for elected officials?

Also, I bring attention to Coles County Board member Gail Mason’s activities during and after the June primary. It’s for similar reasons Democratic voters and candidates pulled Republican ballots across the State of Illinois. The outsized role county clerks have in Illinois primaries and general elections is explored. Is election reform necessary in the age of tribalism and increasing number of blowout counties?
